Hi,

I've never worked in the adult industry. I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask about this, since this is an escort site and I'm not looking to get started in escorting. Sorry if my question doesn't belong here. I've searched this site about SMS chat but haven't got the answers I'm looking for really.

I'm considering doing adult SMS chat or instant messaging, in the hope that I might be able to make some much-needed cash quickly. This would only be a short-term thing.

Firstly, is it worth doing, in terms of profit? How lucrative is it?

Secondly, I've seen AW includes these services, but are there any other service providers, agencies or platforms to recommend, especially in the UK?

I don't want to get into escorting, porn or anything like that. I'm low on self-confidence otherwise I'd consider camming too. I don't know if I would do camming even if I did have a healthy level of self-confidence because I'm wary of it coming up to bite my ass later on in some way, especially with the whole government spying thing.

Also wondering, is there anything to be aware of regarding SMS chat or instant messaging, like any dangers or maybe some advice?

Also wondering if I keep my identity secret, like using a fake alias, etc - could this affect my career prospects in the future? I don't intend to work for other people or a 9-5 job, I'm actually the type to be self-employed. But I have plans for getting involved with humanitarian/political campaign work down the line, and wouldn't want to have this jeopardised.

Thanks in advance.

This is probably no the best forum to ask this as we are all mainly prostitutes :)

I think there is a massive thread on moneysavingexpert.com that might help. From what I can see its not very lucratve but if you are looking for extra pennies it may be worth a go.

On AW if you advertise yourself correctly you may find that you make good money from this but it wont happen quckly and wll take a lot of work and dedication. I dont know of other providers in the uk.

My last bit of advise is this When it come to any form of sex work thre will be a possibility that people may find out. Less so with sms I guess but still the danger is there. You will also be subjecting yourself to some very VERY filthy texts. I fid the more disconnected you are the more weird they get. Could you really see yourself being happy to recieve things like this on a daily basis for something like 5p a text: "Hey bb, are you into age play, would you pretend to be 8 and I am your uncle texting you pls."

Thats shocking isn't it but I will guarantee you will recieve that message. If you cannot deal with that the please look at other ways of making money. Opportunities are everywhere and they don't al involve sex Dog walking, baby sitting, buying and selling things on ebay (pro tip anything with one direction on it sell like hot cakes) its literally surprising what crap people will buy :)

please forgive the typos m laptop is useless

Sorry I ant help ore but it's not really my area of expertise

Oh gawd, SOMEONE point me in the direction of a company that I can earn money from this, cos AW isn't the place for it! I've been offering SMS chat for 3 years or so, and have received the grand total of ONE TEXT in all that time!!

I'd love to add this properly to my repertoire of services...

Thanks for the advice.

It was just something I considered, but after doing some research it doesn't look like it's the way to go for me to get the cash I need quickly. Just by taking the time to do some research, I've been educated a bit more on the topic of prostitution and I've had to ask myself some hard questions about my own perception of it. So I'm glad I did look into it for that reason.

I know filthy texts, I was into sexting a lot before the term was even coined.  ;D

But the things bothering me the most are: possible identification, and getting into a situation where losing my self-respect may be a possibility. That's why I said it would only be a very short term thing.

For the amount of work/effort that's required in SMS chat, I'd rather freelance as a web developer. Just as lucrative if not more, if done right. But it's not instant. Freelancing is something I'm already working on anyway to get myself out of unemployment, I'm just considering quick and convenient ways of making some much-needed extra cash in the short term without too much hassle.

So, thanks for your advice.
